Professor of Theoretical Physics | Mansoura University | Egypt
Prof. Dr. Abdelsalam Mohamed Elabsy is an Emeritus Professor of Physics at Mansoura University, Egypt, with over four decades of distinguished academic and research experience. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maine, Orono, USA, in 1987, specializing in “Dielectric Response to Impurity Ions in Ga1-xAlxAs/GaAs/Ga1-xAlxAs Quantum Wells,” following his M.Sc. (1979) and B.Sc. (1975) degrees from Mansoura University. Throughout his career, Prof. Elabsy has held prominent academic positions at Mansoura University, the United Arab Emirates University, Taif University, and Khalifa Bin Zayed Air College, where he taught and developed numerous undergraduate and postgraduate physics courses. His research interests lie in theoretical solid-state and semiconductor physics, focusing on nanostructure materials such as quantum wells, quantum dots, and quantum wires, exploring their band structure, tunneling effects, and electronic properties. As Head of the Theoretical Solid-State Physics Group at Mansoura University, he has led and supervised several M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses in semiconductor nanostructures, collaborating internationally with the theoretical group at Newcastle University, UK. His research has been published in reputable peer-reviewed and indexed journals, including Micro and Nanostructures, Semiconductor Science and Technology, and Results in Surfaces and Interfaces, and he serves as an active reviewer for these and other high-impact journals. His research skills encompass advanced computational modeling, solid-state simulations, and quantum mechanical analysis, supported by strong programming expertise in FORTRAN, BASIC, and MATLAB. Prof. Elabsy has received multiple honors and grants, including fellowships and visiting professorships from the University of Maine (USA) and Newcastle University (UK), as well as the AMIDEAST-Peace Fellowship. His career reflects exceptional commitment to academic excellence, mentorship, and international collaboration, and his lifelong contributions to physics education and nanostructure research continue to inspire innovation and scientific advancement globally.
